Welcomed Newcomer

Check out this outstanding article regarding how Byron Wesley fit right in at Gonzaga. Read about his recruitment and why he chose the Zags over other schools. Also, how Kyle Dranginis feels about the transfer, knowing it would cut into his minutes- Welcomed Newcomer:




Byron really has "fit right in", which is pretty amazing for a guy that is only coming for one year. It was quite a gamble. One that could have been very disruptive to team chemistry but it has not been so at all. He has fit into the starting line-up seamlessly, as if he's been in the system for years.

The one thing the Zags have lacked is a stable of wings. Wesley's addition has fixed this issue. So far he has proven to be a pivotal piece of this year's team and a huge "get" for the Zags. I will go so far as to call him the missing link and possibly the biggest reason the Zags are better than last year, and currently ranked #2 in the nation.

GO Zags!!~

Totally enjoying Wesley this year. He seems like a complete team player - defense, driving, passing, shooting. The times I've noticed him the most are in rebounding and during a GU scoring lull. It seems like half the time GU is in a scoring drought BW either starts a scoring play or finishes it.
And Dranginis? I think this guy is a much better player than he looks like on paper as he too is an unselfish team player. He's athletic, quick, and understands the game. Glad GU has him for another year.

The improvement on the wing w/ BW and a veteran KD, along w/ Silas Melson has been huge.

A lot better than when we had Gerard Coleman.

Speaking of KD, he can score bucket-fulls if ever needed. He piled up 55 points once in the Idaho State Championship game. But, he is happy do do what is needed to help the TEAM.
